‘Pakistani workforce to get vast employment opportunities in Qatar’

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan signed several agreements and Letters of Intent (LOIs) with top Qatari companies in a ‘landmark move’ aimed at bolstering job opportunities for Pakistanis in Qatar.

Special Assistant to Prime Minister (SAPM) on Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development Jawad Sohrab Malik recently visited Qatar during which several agreements and LOIs were signed with top Qatari companies. This initiative is set to significantly enhance employment opportunities for the Pakistani workforce in Qatar.

The agreements were signed with renowned Qatari firms including Qatari Diyar-Saudi Bin Laden Group Construction (QD-SBG), Hamad Bin Khaled Contracting Company W.L.L (HBK), Ali Bin Ali Holding W.L.L, Sheikh Jabor Bin Mansour Bin Jabor Bin Jassim Al Thani (JMJ) Holding, Tabeeb Care Medical Services, and Al Rawnaq International Commercial Projects.

In addition to these agreements, the SAPM also held a meeting with Mr. Hamad Saleh Al Qamra, Chairman of Al Qamra Holding, focusing on the recruitment of Pakistani manpower for various company projects.
